“Reflecting upon our strong Fiscal 2022 first
quarter performance versus the challenges of the same quarter in
2021, we are reminded of how resilient Saratoga and our portfolio
companies have been in overcoming the challenges last year as well
as transitioning well to the current substantial ramp-up in market
activity. Our NAV per share of $28.70 is our highest level yet, and
we continue to believe Saratoga is well positioned for potential
future economic challenges and opportunities,” said Christian L.
Oberbeck, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of
Saratoga Investment. “Our results this quarter highlight the
strength of our financial position and portfolio performance. Our
quarterly metrics include LTM return on equity of 19.4%, adjusted
NII per share of $0.56, and a 5.3% NAV per share quarterly growth
of $1.45 per share. In these times of continued recovery from the
COVID-19 pandemic, we believe balance sheet strength, liquidity and
NAV preservation continues to be paramount, both for our portfolio
companies and our BDC. Our current capital structure at quarter-end
was strong, with $320 million of equity supporting $173 million of
long-term covenant-free non-SBIC debt, $168 million of long-term
covenant free SBIC debentures, and $39 million drawn on our credit
facility. Our quarter-end regulatory leverage of 251% provides
substantial cushion above our 150% requirement, and in addition to
the $6 million we had available through our Madison revolving
credit facility, we had $20 million of quarter-end cash to support
our existing portfolio companies, and $131 million of available
SBIC II facilities to finance new opportunities, all of which are
expected to be highly accretive to earnings. In addition, in March
we issued $50 million of new unsecured bonds at 4.375%, both adding
new liquidity and reducing our existing cost of capital. Also in
June, and reflecting our current strong portfolio performance, the
Board of Directors decided to increase our quarterly dividends by a
further 1c per share and declare a 44c per share dividend for the
quarter ended May 31, 2021.”
“While we continue to remain highly discerning
with our originations in the current high transaction volume
environment, we closed numerous attractive investments this quarter
setting gross and net origination records for Saratoga and our AUM
reached a record level of $678 million as of May 31, 2021. We
continue to bring new platform investments into the portfolio, with
investments in four new companies added this fiscal quarter, in
addition to continued follow-ons in existing borrowers with strong
business models and balance sheets, all totaling $119 million
invested in the fiscal quarter, outpacing repayments of $15
million. Our credit quality remained at a high level at
quarter-end, with 93% of credits rated in our highest category and
only one remaining non-accrual. With almost $19 million of realized
and unrealized gains and appreciation this quarter, we have more
than recovered all of last year’s Q1 unrealized depreciation on the
overall portfolio. With 76% of our investments at quarter-end in
first lien debt and generally supported by strong enterprise values
and balance sheets in industries that have historically performed
well in stressed situations, we believe our portfolio is well
structured. We remain confident in our portfolio companies,
experienced management team, high underwriting standards and
time-tested investment strategy. We believe our team will be able
to continue to steadily grow portfolio size and maintain
differentiated credit quality and investment performance over the
long-term.”
Discussion of Financial Results for the Quarter
ended May 31, 2021:
As of May 31, 2021, Saratoga Investment’s assets
under management (“AUM”) was $677.8 million, an increase of 40.4%
from $482.9 million as of May 31, 2020, and an increase of 22.3%
from $554.3 million as of February 28, 2021. This past quarter,
$119.2 million in originations was offset by $14.9 million of
repayments and amortizations. In addition, the fair value of the
portfolio increased by $1.9 million realized gains and $16.8
million unrealized appreciation, representing an increase of 3.4%
to the overall portfolio, driven by the impact of changes to market
spreads, EBITDA multiples and/or revised portfolio company
performance on the quarter-end valuations. Saratoga Investment’s
portfolio remains strong, with 76.2% of the portfolio in first
liens, and a continued high level of investment quality in loan
investments, with 92.9% of its loans this quarter at its highest
internal rating. This quarter’s originations include four
investments in new platforms, and nine follow-ons in existing
portfolio companies, including drawdowns on committed facilities.
Since Saratoga Investment took over the management of the BDC,
$573.3 million of repayments and sales of investments originated by
Saratoga Investment have generated a gross unlevered IRR of
16.5%.
For the three months ended May 31, 2021, total
investment income of $16.8 million increased by $3.5 million, or
26.5%, compared to $13.3 million for the three months ended May 31,
2020. This increased investment income was generated from an
investment base that has grown by 40.4% since last year. In
addition, this quarter’s investment income was up by $0.6 million,
or 3.7%, on a quarter-over-quarter basis from $16.2 million for the
quarter ended February 28, 2021, primarily due to the investment
base growing by 22.3%. The full period impact of the increased
investment base and resulting interest income is not yet fully
reflected this quarter due to the timing of net originations, while
last quarter also included the non-recurring release of the $0.9
million interest reserve for the Roscoe Medical investment that
returned to accrual status.
As compared to both the three months ended May
31, 2020 and February 28, 2021, adjusted net investment income
increased by $0.5 million, or 8.4%, from $5.8 million to $6.3
million. The $3.5 million increase in investment income was offset
by (i) increased interest expense resulting from the various new
Notes Payable issued during the past year and quarter, (ii)
increased base and incentive management fees generated from the
management of this larger pool of investments, and (iii) as
compared to the quarter ended May 31, 2020, increased total
expenses, excluding interest and debt financing expenses, base
management fees and incentive fees and income tax benefit, that
increased from $1.4 million to $1.9 million. Total expenses,
excluding interest and debt financing expenses, base management
fees and incentive fees and income tax benefit, for the quarter
ended February 28, 2021, was $2.5 million.
Net investment income on a weighted average per
share basis was $0.23 for the quarter ended May 31, 2021. Adjusted
for the incentive fee accrual related to net capital gains, the net
investment income on a weighted average per share basis was $0.56.
This compares to adjusted net investment income per share of $0.52
for the quarter ended February 28, 2021, and $0.51 for the quarter
ended May 31, 2020, reflecting increases of $0.04 per share and
$0.05 per share, respectively. During these periods, weighted
average common shares outstanding remained relatively unchanged at
11.2 million shares.
Net investment income yield as a percentage of
average net asset value (“Net Investment Income Yield”) was 3.3%
for the quarter ended May 31, 2021. Adjusted for the incentive fee
accrual related to net capital gains, the Net Investment Income
Yield was 8.0%. In comparison, adjusted Net Investment Income Yield
was 7.7% and 7.9% for the quarters ended February 28, 2021, and May
31, 2020, respectively.
Net Asset Value (“NAV”) was $320.3 million as of
May 31, 2021, an increase of $16.1 million from $304.2 million as
of February 28, 2021, and an increase of $38.7 million from $281.6
million as of May 31, 2020.
-
For the three months ended May 31, 2021, $2.6 million of net
investment income, $1.9 million of realized gains and $16.8 million
of net unrealized appreciation on investments were earned,
partially offset by $0.2 million deferred tax expense on net
unrealized depreciation and $4.8 million dividends declared. In
addition, $0.9 million of stock dividend distributions were made
through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”), and
40,000 shares were repurchased during the three months, at a cost
of $1.0 million and an average price of $25.09 per share. For the
quarter ended May 31, 2021, there was no activity related to the
ATM offerings.
NAV per share was $28.70 as of May 31, 2021,
compared to $27.25 as of February 28, 2021, and $25.11 as of May
31, 2020.
-
For the three months ended May 31, 2021, NAV per share increased by
$1.45 per share, or 5.3%, reflecting the $0.23 per share net
investment income and $1.66 per share net realized gains and net
unrealized appreciation, offset by the $0.43 dividend declared and
$0.01 per share net dilutive impact of the DRIP share issuances,
mostly offset by the share repurchase plan.
-
This is the highest level of NAV per share since Saratoga took over
the management of the Company, and reflects the thirteenth increase
in NAV per share over the past sixteen quarters.
Return on equity for the last twelve months
ended May 31, 2021, was 19.4 %, compared to 9.9% for the comparable
period last year.
Earnings per share for the quarter ended May 31,
2021, was $1.88, compared to earnings per share of $0.83 for the
quarter ended February 28, 2021, and $(2.02) for the quarter ended
May 31, 2020.
Investment portfolio activity for the quarter
ended May 31, 2021:
-
Cost of investments made during the period: $119.2 million,
including investments in four new portfolio companies.
-
Principal repayments during the period: $14.9 million.
Additional Financial Information
For the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2021,
Saratoga Investment reported net investment income of $2.6 million,
or $0.23 on a weighted average per share basis, and a net realized
and unrealized gain on investments of $18.5 million, or $1.66 on a
weighted average per share basis, resulting in a net increase in
net assets from operations of $21.0 million, or $1.88 on a weighted
average per share basis. The $18.5 million net gain on investments
was comprised of $16.8 million in net unrealized appreciation on
investments and $1.9 million net realized gain on investments,
offset by $0.2 million of net change in provision for deferred
taxes on unrealized appreciation on investments.
The $1.9 million net realized gain reflects the
sale of the Company’s Village Realty equity investment. The $16.8
million net unrealized appreciation reflects (i) the $1.8 million
reversal of previously recognized appreciation on the Village
Realty realization and (ii) a 3.4% increase in the total value of
the remaining portfolio, primarily related to improvements in
market spreads, EBITDA multiples and/or revised portfolio company
performance – therefore, all of the net reduction in the value of
the non-CLO portfolio in the first quarter of last year has been
more than reversed since May 31, 2020, and the overall
portfolio fair value is now 3.2% above cost. Included in this net
unrealized appreciation is $4.0 million of net unrealized
appreciation in the Company’s CLO investment. This is compared to
the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2020, with net investment income
of $9.0 million, or $0.80 on a weighted average per share basis,
and a net realized and unrealized loss on investments of $31.7
million, or $2.82 on a weighted average per share basis, resulting
in a net decrease in net assets from operations of $22.7 million,
or ($2.02) on a weighted average per share basis. The $31.7 million
net loss on investments consisted of $32.0 million in net
unrealized depreciation, offset by $0.3 million deferred tax
benefit on unrealized depreciation on investments.
Total expenses, excluding interest and debt
financing expenses, base management fees, incentive management fees
and deferred taxes, increased from $1.4 million for the quarter
ended May 31, 2020, to $1.9 million for the quarter ended May 31,
2021, but remained unchanged at 1.1% of average total assets.
Portfolio and Investment Activity
As of May 31, 2021, the fair value of Saratoga
Investment’s portfolio was $677.8 million (excluding $20.0 million
in cash and cash equivalents), principally invested in 43 portfolio
companies and one collateralized loan obligation fund (“CLO”). The
overall portfolio composition consisted of 76.2% of first lien term
loans, 3.7% of second lien term loans, 0.3% of unsecured term
loans, 7.9% of subordinated notes in a CLO and 11.9% of common
equity.
For the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2021,
Saratoga Investment invested $119.2 million in four new and nine
existing portfolio companies and had $14.9 million in one repayment
and amortization, resulting in net investments of $104.3 million
for the quarter.
As of May 31, 2021, the weighted average current
yield on Saratoga Investment’s portfolio based on fair values was
8.6%, which was comprised of a weighted average current yield of
9.4% on first lien term loans, 12.0% on second lien term loans,
0.0% on unsecured term loans, 13.3% on CLO subordinated notes and
0.0% on equity interests.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2021, Saratoga Investment had
$39.0 million outstanding under its $45.0 million senior
secured revolving credit facility with Madison Capital
Funding LLC. At the same time, Saratoga Investment had $124.0
million SBA debentures outstanding in its SBIC I license, $44.0
million SBA debentures outstanding in its SBIC II license, $103.1
million of listed baby bonds issued, a new unsecured unlisted
institutional issuance of $50.0 million and two unlisted issuances
of $5.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively, and an aggregate
of $20.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.
With $6.0 million available under the credit
facility and the $20.0 million of cash and cash equivalents as of
May 31, 2021, Saratoga Investment has a total of $26.0 million of
undrawn borrowing capacity and cash and cash equivalents for new
investments or to support its existing portfolio companies in the
BDC. In addition, Saratoga Investment has $131.0 million in undrawn
SBA debentures from the most recently approved SBIC II license to
finance new SBIC-eligible portfolio companies. During the quarter,
the Company dropped down another $15.0 million into its SBIC II
license, increasing its capital there from $69.0 million to $84.0
million. Availability under the Madison credit facility can change
depending on portfolio company performance and valuation. In
addition, certain follow-on investments in SBIC I and the BDC will
not qualify for SBIC II funding. As of quarter-end, Saratoga
Investment had $15.2 million of committed undrawn lending
commitments and $39.8 million of discretionary funding
commitments.
On March 10, 2021, the Company issued $50.0
million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% fixed-rate Notes due
in 2026 for net proceeds of $49.0 million after deducting
underwriting commissions of approximately $1.0 million. Offering
costs incurred were approximately $0.2 million.
On March 16, 2017, Saratoga Investment entered
into an equity distribution agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann &
Co. Inc., through which Saratoga may offer for sale, from time to
time, up to $30.0 million of its common stock through an ATM
offering. Subsequent to this, BB&T Capital Markets and B. Riley
FBR, Inc. were also added to the agreement. On July 11, 2019, the
amount of common stock to be offered through this offering was
increased to $70.0 million, and on October 8, 2019, the amount of
common stock to be offered through this offering was further
increased to $130.0 million. As of May 31, 2020, the Company sold
3,992,018 shares for gross proceeds of $97.1 million at an average
price of $24.77 for aggregate net proceeds of $95.9 million (net of
transaction costs). During the three months ended May 31, 2020,
there was no activity related to the ATM offering.
Portfolio and Liquidity Update:
Subsequent to quarter-end, Saratoga Investment
has executed approximately $84.8 million of new originations in
three new portfolio companies and three follow-ons, and had
repayments of approximately $105.6 million in four exits and
realizations, for a net reduction in investments of $20.8 million.
There is currently $18.5 million drawn on our credit facility.

In fiscal year 2015, the Company announced the
approval of an open market share repurchase plan that allows it to
repurchase up to 200,000 shares of its common stock at prices below
its NAV as reported in its then most recently published financial

2021. On May 4, 2020, the Board of Directors increased the share
repurchase plan to 1.3 million shares of common stock. During the

Supplemental Information Regarding Adjusted Net Investment
Income, Adjusted Net Investment Income Yield and Adjusted Net
Investment Income per share
On a supplemental basis, Saratoga Investment
provides information relating to adjusted net investment income,
adjusted net investment income yield and adjusted net investment
income per share, which are non-GAAP measures. These measures are
provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net
investment income, net investment income yield and net investment
income per share. Adjusted net investment income represents net
investment income excluding any capital gains incentive fee expense
or reversal attributable to realized and unrealized gains. The
management agreement with the Company’s advisor provides that a
capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with
respect to cumulative realized capital gains (but not unrealized
capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed
realized and unrealized losses for such year. In addition, Saratoga
Investment accrues, but does not pay, a capital gains incentive fee
in connection with any unrealized capital appreciation, as
appropriate. All capital gains incentive fees are presented within
net investment income within the Consolidated Statements of
Operations, but the associated realized and unrealized gains and
losses that these incentive fees relate to, are excluded. As such,
Saratoga Investment believes that adjusted net investment income,
adjusted net investment income yield and adjusted net investment
income per share is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of
any capital gains incentive fee expense or reversal attributable to
gains. The presentation of this additional information is not meant
to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial
results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table
provides a reconciliation of net investment income to adjusted net
investment income, net investment income yield to adjusted net
investment income yield and net investment income per share to
adjusted net investment income per share for the quarters ended May
31, 2021, and May 31, 2020.
